Citizens Lyrics by Jack Hardy

Landmark

0

[Verse 1]
Summer in southern Colorado
Where the sweat dries too fast and too neat
A man was just paid by the government
Not to harvest all his fields
But he already sent for his workers
They slipped into town overnight
And praises be to heaven
If no one dies tonight

[Chorus]
And all the second-class citizens
On second thought, they are not citizens at all
And are we all really citizens?
Are we citizens at all?
Citizens

[Verse 2]
And Sam's got a wife in Cerritos
Just north of the city of sun
He’s got him five sons and three daughters
'Cause down there there's only one kind of fun
He was going to send them the money
Just a few dollars that August allowed
It might be enough for the hungry
Though never enough for the proud

[Chorus]
And all the second-class citizens
On second thought, they are not citizens at all
And are we all really citizens?
Are we citizens at all?
Citizens

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
And you who enjoy your summers in Colorado
And you who escape all the heat
And you who enjoy your bread buttered
On both sides of commodities
And you who are along for the seasons
And you who are along for the ride
And you who are asking the reason
That someone named Sam has just died

[Chorus]
And all the second-class citizens
On second thought, they are not citizens at all
And are we all really citizens?
Are we citizens at all?
Citizens
